Police Hunting `Locker Room Bandit'

The man first struck Gold's Gym at 1427 E. Commercial Blvd. in Oakland Park on Oct. 24. He asked to use the gym's bathroom but instead went into the women's locker room, where he stole car keys, said Broward Sheriff's Office spokesman Hugh Graf. He found the owner's Ford Expedition, and took off.

The thief used the woman's credit cards to make more than 30 charges totaling about $1,000.

On Nov. 24, the man tried to steal a woman's keys as she showered at Bally's Total Fitness at 959 E. Commercial Blvd. in Oakland Park. He fled in a red Volvo stolen with keys taken from a Sunrise gym locker room on Nov. 16.

Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 954-493-8477. The information may lead to a $1,000 reward.
